From: Unexpected high frequency of neurofibroma in the celiac ganglion of German cattle

Figure 4

Frequency of neurofibroma in the different cattle groups. The percentage of animals with neurofibroma in the celiac ganglion is depicted for each group (A) with the dotted line showing the average frequency of neurofibroma for the cohort cattle (9.63%). There was no significant difference in age between case animals with or without neurofibroma in the celiac ganglion and control cattle with or without neurofibroma (B). The only study group with obviously younger animals was the offspring of BSE animals (C). Regression analysis for a correlation between increasing age and the occurrence of neurofibroma is depicted for case animals (red) and controls (blue). Case animals have a determination coefficient of r2 = 0.1047 and a probability of error of p = 0.3893. Control animals have a determination coefficient of r2 = 0.166 and a probability of error of p = 0.5918 (D). There is no correlation between age and occurrence of neurofibroma detectable in these groups.
